About this episode

Hi Everyone! This week's episode is all about SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES. I introduce the history of Greek Life and talk about the famous people were part of sororities and fraternities.

As a special guest, we talk to my cousin Lauren about what it was like to be in a sorority. Hopefully you'll learn a little bit more than the stereotypes! There are many takeaways from this very unique college experience.
